VOLUME 17
ST. JOHN'S, NFLD., FRIDAY, OCT. 21, 1966

We Won
Women should Not be kept Pregnant, Barefoot and in the Kitchen
DAN STEWART
Debating, that neglected art here at Memorial,
received a boost in the arm last Saturday evening.
The ritish universities debating team of Lord Douglas-Hamilton and Ian Forrester sparred intellectually with
the Memorial team of Daniel Stewart and Rex Murphy
before a capacity audience in the Little Theatre. The
resolution, supported by the British team, was that
women should be kept pregnant, barefoot, and in the
kitchen.
Both teams supported their arguments well, and
coupled these arguments with congenial good humour,
and occasional barbed remarks. The latter, meant to
fluster the opposition and throw them off balance, were
juggled well and returned in good measure. The audience
was certainly well entertained, though when time came
for judging, they indicated their favour by choosing the
negative team as the winners.
It is hoped that the large audience which attended
this particular debate will be encouraged to attend interfaculty debates during this year. In previous years
audiences have been very small, at times, no more than
seven or eight people out of the student body. The
faculty, if a cliche may be used, has been conspicuous
by its absence. An efficient public information system
and publicity chairman should make for the injection
of vitality and enthusiasm into debating at Memorial.

CSU membership troubles continue on several fronts
WINDSOR (CUP)-Canadian Union
of Students president-elect Hugh
Armstrong said he will be "very
surprised" if Bishop's University students decide to stay in CUS.
Bishop's students will vote at a
general assembly Monday on whether
to retain their CUS ties. Their referendum follows the withdrawal of five
other student bodies from the 160,000-
member organization.
Armstrong, in Windsor for the national assembly of World University
Service to Canada last weekend, said
even if Bishop's chooses to withdraw,
he does not expect McGill University
to join the growing group of ex-CUS
members.
He discounted rumours that McGill
plans to quit, saying a Bishop's withdrawal would not "influence McGill
one little bit."
Meanwhile, in Ottawa, CUS president Doug Ward says he doesn't think
Bishop's will remain in CUS. Last
Thursday he addressed a crowd, of
125 students at Lennoxville, in an attempt to persuade Bishop's to remain
in CUS.
The union's membership crisis has
deepened in at least two other respects during the past few days.
The 1,600 students of Acadia University are re-examining their membership in CUS.
Several Acadia student government
leaders indicated at the weekend their
union could withdraw from CUS for
roughly the same ideological reasons
voiced by other unions which have
already left.
A committee has been set up on the
Wolfville campus to investigate CUS
membership.
The CUS withdrawals also appear to
be having effects on the union's plans
to purchase a house in Ottawa.
The secretariat is no longer planning
to solicit money for new headquarters
from student unions this year, president Ward said the other day,
A shrinking CUS budget is now being stretched to cover the union's
current program, he indicated, and
CUS is no-longer in a position where
it can consider making a capital outlay on a new home in Ottawa's Sandy
Hill District.
DISCIPLINE
AT MEMORIAL
Memorial University will have a Discipline Corps.
The Corps, directly responsible to Council, will consist of: a
Discipline Chairman, Harvey Taylor; a Deputy Chairman, Arthur
Bull; a Discipline Court, consisting of one male student, one female
student, and the Discipline Chairman or the Deputy Discipline
Chairman; a Chief of Discipline, to be appointed; and a small corps
made up of senior students.

Nomination sheets for freshman
running in the CSU elections are
available on various campus bulletin
boards.
These sheets, to be signed by the
nominee and ten other supporters,
must be passed in to the CSU office
by 6:00 p.m. today (Friday).
The Preliminary campaign speech
will be held tomorrow (Saturday) at
2:00 p.m. in the Science Lecture
Theatre. All campaign posters must
be removed after speeches.
The elections will take place Monday and Tuesday, October 24th and
25th, with the polls ceasing at 6:00
p.m., Tuesday.
With counting and tabulation of
votes starting as soon as the polls
close, the results of the election should
be posted on Wednesday, the 26th.
When asked about the expected
turnout of the Freshman Elections,
Kevin Smith, Returning Officer said,
"In previous years the percentage of
voters has been poor."
"The publicity given in a campaign
determines the number of voters that
turns out to the polls," he added.
The ballot boxes are to be situated
at key points around the university
and all students can vote upon producing registration cards.
It is hoped that this year there will
be a bigger turn out of voters.
Treasure Van is again bringing to
Memorial an exciting display of exotic
and unusual goods. From the bazaars
of Asia, the villages of Latin America,
the rural co-operatives of northern
Europe and the South Pacific Islands
come thousands of hand-made items.
Koala bears from Australia; alpaca
slippers from Peru; jewellery from
Spain, Mexico, India and Thailand;
traditional toys from Russia, Mexico
and Japan; native masks from Ecuador, Taiwan, Tanzania and New Gui

from Sweden, Poland and Yugoslavia;
"wife leaders" from Barbados; worry

items that will be on display.
The World University Service of
Canada sponsors Treasure Van with
profits going toward worthwhile WUS
programs.
Ruth Peckford and Maxine Parsons,
two Memorial students co-chair this
year's effort, with Dave Smallwood
acting as financial chairman.

the Discipline Court.
"These fines," Harvey Taylor,
Discipline Chairman, stressed.
"Will be issued only when necessary. We are not trying to tell
students what to do, nor are we
trying to bully them. We simply
feel that Memorial students can
benefit from such a force."
The preliminary Corps plan
was presented to Council at its
October 13 meeting and was unanimously approved.
Taylor explained, "The CSU is
responsible for discipline at all
University functions."
The disciplinary booklet issued
by the President of Memorial
states, "The Council of the Students' Union shall have jurisdiction in respect of offences committed in any buildings or rooms
controlled by the Council and by
any University student society,
whether on or off the University
campus."
"With this in mind," Mr. Taylor said, "and with an investigation into similar forces on other
Canadian campuses, the idea of
the Corps has developed."
"The hope of the Corps is to
have MUN control itself rather
than having it rely on outside control."
The formal plan for the force
will be presented to the Council
in November and the Corps
should go into action after Christmas.
Said Taylor, "Many problems
have yet to be cleaned up, such
questions as office space, payment
to Corps members, and other odds
and ends must be cleaned up before the Corps can operate
smoothly."
